Prime location to airport shuttle and attractions with good staff.

I didn't like that the room I selected said city view in double bed. They me lower floor with no view. Next morning lady manager made it right. The rooftop was closed which is why I booked. The staff was rude as ever. I called down for an iron was told they would bring it right up, after 5 mins or longer I went down stairs and asked the man with glasses who sits in the office about iron. I walked up and he was like " they going to bring it". I told him I've been waiting and have to get dressed for a tour and needed to know when. He said another guest may be using and I asked can he call housekeeping to check he was really irritated and so was I. He did finally called housekeeping and she told him she'll bring it right to me. As I was going to my room I seen the nicest housekeeper who went right to get it as I waited. I got dressed and wanted tissue and fresh towels, walked down to where I seen housekeeping working in room and asked for tissue and towels. Again it was the nice lady and another lady. The other lady looking at my like I'm asking for her life but the nice lady proceeded to get the items and gave them to me. Before check out I seen housekeeper was asking was she doing my room I want to tip her again. I asked the male worker to translate it he didn't even listen and just kept telling me to go to front desk. I did explain to lady manager and she translated for us. I don't recommend if American/solo traveler dont get same treatment as other guest. I booked new hotel

Sometimes price shouldnt matter. A hotel should have at least a minimum standard. This hotel doesnt fulfil any hotel criteria. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

Amazing hotel very safe and in the best location in all of Istanbul. 5 minute walk from the blue mosque, 9 minutes from sultanahmet station.
Highly recommend!

Great location for the price. Hotel a little tired, roof top bar was closed. Nonetheless, hotel did a great job and I had no complaints at all.

Property was very close to Blue Mosque, which was visible from their rooftop terrace. Within walking distance of Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar. Hotel buildings are quite dated and has steps to the front to get in. Room was clean but basic.

Appreciated the front desk!
There are 2 drinking glasses in the room: one was cracked & the other has lip & finger marks on it ⚠️ Honestly cannot answer the parking question as I didn’t need it. The front desk upgraded my room when I presented him with my issue. That issue was about the stale, damp smell of my initial room assignment. It’s an old hotel, I get it, charming in its own right (friendly staff for sure) but cannot ignore the smell. I appreciate being taken care of and my new room (still has the smell though definitely not as strong) was sooo much better! I would open the curtains to see the Blue Mosque right outside my window ☺️ Also make note: location is perfect; everything I wanted to see was so easy to get to!

This is probably the worst hotel in Istanbul. There are literally 5 star grand hotels that are cheaper than this hotel 10 minutes away. There were cats fighting outside the windows all night and the resteraunt only serves breakfast and somehow they failed that aswell. Everything was out of date and stale. The hotel staff were not friendly like the other reviews claim they were rude and unhappy to help. The bathrooms inside the hotel rooms did not have hot water running for most of the time and the drains did not work which caused the bathroom to flood and drain after 3 and a half hours. The thing that really annoyed me is that they had tripadvisor hotel award stickers all over the hotel which were from 2012, 12 whole years ago. This hotel is not worth it at all and I would only go there if my life depended on it. Also the hotel room pictures that they show us are massive but they are pictures from another hotel.

Without the one employee who looks like turkish Harry Potter this entire Business would collapse
He is the only one who cares about customers
Rooms do not get cleaned at all (stained windows/toilet) and breakfast is very low quality and lazy
Sarnic "Garden" is like one Bush in a hallway
However you get a good view of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in 3rd floor rooms

Great hotel in Istanbul, close to the tourist attractions. Friendly, attentive staff. Prices commensurate with quality. There is a large terrace on the roof with excellent views of the mosque lit up at night.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The service was impeccable, the rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.
The location was perfect, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall atmosphere was both relaxing and luxurious. I can confidently say this was one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had. Highly recommended – I will definitely be coming back!

I stayed at this hotel with my father for 7 days. The location is impeccable. We stayed in one of the rooms facing the hippodrome and it was really worth it. The breakfast was also very good and varied and the view was just wonderful. But the best part of this hotel was its kind, professional and friendly staff. Everyone, from the ladies who prepared breakfast, to the house keepers, to the receptionists, were all extremely warm and friendly. Mr. Mesut, the manager was incredibly helpful and gave us a lot of good guidance on what to do and see. He was really polite, kind nad professional. I can't say enough about how welcome him and his team made us feel. Next time we are in Istanbul, we will do our best to book a room with them again. 5 stars.

What can I say about this hotel, pure hospitality and a must stay when your in Istanbul. Take it from me the service is special especially Mehmut and Sena who always greet you and take care of you whenever you need. Sena especially well done! The breakfast is fresh whenever you need no matter what time you get up. If you need a top up a fresh portion it will be made for you.
